Nothing makes strong appeal so let's travel down the increasingly tried and trusted route of going along with one having a first run since being moved to Dan Skelton. CHAMPAYNE GINGER has some fair form in the book, albeit nothing special, for Paul Flynn in Ireland and ran solid enough races in points the last twice. He will need to progress but is a young horse capable of doing so and the yard has an excellent record of doing just that with new recruits. Olly Murphy has made a fine, if slightly controversial, start to his training career since leaving Gordon Elliott, so Skilled is another one who could now well improve for a change of scenery. He has winning form for the Elliott team and is taken seriously. Midnight Gypsy is interesting on chase debut and Bestwork has claims too if forgiven a below par performance latest. Cuil Rogue is worth a market check on this second run for a new yard.
